WATCH: Ricky Gervais’ Golden Globes 2016 opening monologue

Ricky Gervais returned to host the Golden Globes for the fourth time last night, and as promised, delivered some scathing attacks on the rich and famous (many of whom were in the audience).

It took him 15 seconds to make reference to Sean Penn, who recently made the news for conducting a controversial interview with drug lord “El Chapo” Guzman (“I wanna do this monologue, and then go into hiding. Not even Sean Penn will find me. Snitch.”) before making fun of the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Caitlyn Jenner, Jeffrey Tambor, Roman Polanski, and the channel broadcasting the ceremony, NBC.
